The war drums are beating again—Battlefield 6 launches October 10, but before that, Electronic Arts is stress-testing the battlefield with its second open beta this weekend. The beta will run from Thursday, August 14 at 10:00 AM CEST through Sunday, August 17, across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, EA app).

Unlike the first test, this round adds new maps, new modes, rewards, and more to help EA fine-tune balance and stability before release.

🎮 How to Access the Beta

  • Public & Free: No pre-registration required.

  • Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC.

  • How to Join: Download the Battlefield 6 Beta App on your platform (PS5/Xbox/Steam/Epic/EA app). Downloads usually unlock a few hours before servers go live.

  • Tip: Link your EA account to your platform for smoother access.

🗺️ Maps Available

The second beta includes returning maps plus one new battleground:

  • Siege of Cairo – Tight alleys, vertical play, and deadly corner encounters.

  • Empire State (NEW) – Infantry-only street battles in Brooklyn, with rooftop choke points.

  • Iberian Offensive – Gibraltar’s claustrophobic alleyways and ambush-prone interiors.

  • Liberation Peak – Tajikistan’s rugged mountains with cover from air attacks and tactical elevation play.

⚔️ Game Modes

In addition to the first beta’s lineup, two new modes debut this weekend:

  • Assault (NEW): Attackers plant and detonate explosives at outposts; defenders must stop them.

  • TCT: Patrol (NEW): Close-quarters chaos with four teams battling until one hits the kill cap.

  • Advance & Limited Weapon Advance – Tactical area control with class-based weapon limits.

  • Conquest – All-out war, capture zones to drain enemy reinforcements.

  • Domination – Classic control-point battles.

  • Take the Hill – Hold a single contested zone to rack up points.

👉 Players under rank 15 can also train against AI bots in Advance and Conquest.
